So Jack is truly settled, we've had no more issues with Ginny (it was complacency on our part as we'd dealt with the issues with the pointies and had got lazy with her).
He did his first pack walk with some of our flyball friends on Christmas day and loved it. I havr invested in a contained buggy for him. We tried the trolley we used for corgi Jack but being a much more determined terrier he kept trying to leap out so needed something more secure, his mind thinks he can keep up with the others but his body can't. He has settled with it now and seems to accept that it means he gets a mooch about during the walk.
He's got some lumps, some the vets think are fatty lumps, some he's not convinced about but they aren't growing as far as we can tell so we're just keeping an eye on them along with a skin tag type lump on his back. He's on painkillers as he had significant pain in both hips and his left front shoulder which has some muscle wastage when he came to us, the painkillers alongside a joint supplement and decent food and he's zooming round when the mood takes him
Dobby, who I was most worried about being Mr Sacredycat reactive idiot, is in love with him and he certainly seems very happy. We've had no separation issues so having the others for company has obviously made all the difference. He's a big fan of coming with to flyball comps bit I think that might be the fuss and getting to steal the odd rougue ball.
We're going to focus on giving him a great summer and keep an eye on him given that he'll be 15 in May but I'm so chuffed with how he's settled in.
